The Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, located in the picturesque South West of England, is home to a charming property that comfortably accommodates four guests. Nestled in the heart of the quaint village of Corfe Castle, this cottage is conveniently situated just a short walk from local amenities including a bakery, sweet shop, pubs, and tearooms. The village is named after the iconic Corfe Castle, a historic site that once faced an attack by Oliver Cromwell, and is easily accessible from the cottage. Visitors can also enjoy a scenic steam train ride to Swanage, where they can explore the beach and vibrant entertainment options, as well as the stunning beaches of Studland Bay and the nearby coastal villages of Kimmeridge and Lulworth.
This characterful property features a blend of traditional and modern elements, with exposed Purbeck stone walls, wooden beams, and a delightful inglenook fireplace. The cottage has been thoughtfully extended to include a bright and airy kitchen equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer. This kitchen flows into a spacious dining area that boasts a large table, skylights, and French doors that lead out to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The inviting lounge area, located in the older section of the house, is perfect for cozy evenings, featuring the same charming inglenook fireplace, comfortable sofas, a small dining table, and a TV/DVD player. The ground floor also includes a modern bathroom complete with an overhead shower and stylish floorboards. Upstairs, guests will find two well-appointed bedrooms: a generously sized king bedroom with beams and picturesque views of the Purbeck Hills, and a cozy bunk bedroom ideal for children.
